49.01 California: Palos Verdes Coastal Walk.

It seems that in each city hike over the recent past, we have viewed golf courses. We find we are playing much better golf from our hiking positions than when we were on the course. We think it's probably a mental issue.

I'm sure that's the Pacific Ocean...then again, maybe it's Lake Tahoe.
"Hey, blue eyes?" 

We spent the morning rising from, and dropping down to, coastal level repeatedly.

Didn't expect to see a flock of sheep visiting the beach. Sure beats having a garden service. The lawn is trimmed and manured in each session. Loved the swaying, tall grass. 

Final exit from ocean level.
Contrast with San Diego coastline 4 days earlier, some 2 hours south (by car, not per foot).

Early days on the trail as we climb from the beach.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey
